I'm looking for the smallest single post GM style alternator. Reason I need a small one is I'm building a piece of equipment powered by an electric motor and space is tight. Will be driven by the electric motor by a pulley/belt. Only need 35 amps at most. What's out there?

not sure if this fits your "GM" request but we run the little Nippondenso units on a couple of our flats, really no electric other than a fuel pump and starter. They are small single wire and work well for us. I will pick up a rubber 5/8 or 7/8 vacuum cap at O'Riley's or AutoZone, cut a small hole and then run the wire thru it.

The orange one. Trying to mount an alternator right behind the motor about where the 2 bolts for the differential mount is. Typically they mount them above the transmission but I'm trying to leave that space open and just use the smallest dimensional alternator. I need 12v dc for the hydraulic raise lower. Also attached are pictures of a normal setup but I'm unable to mount an alternator in the same place as my frame is a bit different. There's some on Amazon but want to make sure it is in fact a mini alternator and a good quality unit. I have the belt system handled.
